Challenge #33: Scandal
All the Kids Are Doing It
A sweet, heady aroma lingered in the teen's bedroom.
Rummaging through the prince's underwear drawer produced nothing more scandalous than a pair of threadbare boxers. The rest were immaculate. And folded.
Iroh had already checked the obvious places, but Zuko was known to squirrel things away from his sticky-fingered uncle.
He pawed the undersides of drawers, searched the lining of a chest, and delved deep into the prince's armoire. He even checked for secret compartments in the desk.
Nothing.
As he sat down on the teen's futon, the obvious hit him. Where else would a teenager hide his most shameful secrets?
He lifted the corner of the mattress and found the stash in a wood box.
Iroh smirked triumphantly. He knew it. He could smell it burning on those particularly bad days when the Avatar had slipped through Zuko's fingers yet again. Sandalwood incense was extremely soothing, after all.
Sandalwood, Iroh laughed inwardly. The prince never ceased to surprise him.
Of course, the blue and white mask glaring at him from under the bed did not surprise Iroh one bit.
A quick note to my "fans" about Captured! The Zutara Musical: I am nearing the end of the major writing, so you may not see the first chapter up for another couple of weeks. In the meantime, for the full musical experience, go and (buy) ACQUIRE (/buy) a whole bunch of Aimee Mann CDs and songs. My favourites are the Magnolia Soundtrack and the Live at St. Ann's Warehouse compilation. But I sample from all her work. 8 )
Thanks for reading!
